How to boast sales and traffic?

[ManagerJosh]

Hi Everyone

I'm still trying to figure out how to draw more customers in to particpate at http://topmicrousa.coolsimstuff.net and sometimes make a purchase at the mainsite over at http://topmicrousa.com

But after having the forum up for about two weeks, only a few registrations and no one is posting :(

What am I doing wrong?

Tell me about it :(

Just start off getting a few irl and E-friends to post a bit, just to get it flowing to start with.

Hmm...would offering prizes be a good way to encourage traffic?

If you've got the content - then you just need patience.

two weeks seems like a very long time :-/

You have to become the post whore until your community can sprout roots. Spend LOTS of time posting threads about stuff all types of people would be interested in. Remeber, POST WHORE.

sigh.....i dunno what to do....maybe I should just offer a vBulletin license for particpators

Hehe, I'll probably do it and create a lot of threads/posts for that. Let me know if you really are considering that.

There is a difference between "any" post and a content post ;)

Any remember what onyoursideonline.net's requirements were?
